The players of the Portuguese national team during their match against Denmark, on their home ground, on Saturday, were eager to honor their former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, who wore number 7, had retired from international play after a remarkable career spanning nearly 23 years.
Before the start whistle, the Portuguese national team players entered the field wearing a uniform shirt bearing the number 7, as did the children they accompanied.
The Portuguese fans in the stands of the Municipal Stadium of Braga raised a giant banner in honor of the 41-year-old star.
At the seventh minute, Portuguese fans applauded and chanted special cheers for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Hours before the match, the Portuguese Football Federation announced the modification of the number 7 shirt in tribute to Ronaldo, adding a small horizontal line to the number 7 to make the shirt worn by the Al-Nassr player irreplaceable.
